Interactions
Linezolid is a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), and should not be used concomitantly with other MAOIs, large amounts of tyramine-rich foods (such as pork, aged cheeses, alcoholic beverages, or smoked and pickled foods), or serotonergic drugs.

With that being said, perhaps you should try an MAOI. EMSAM is the popular MAOI on the market right now, and luckily, there are no food restrictions at the lowest dose. There's mixed opinions about the effectiveness of MAOI's, but generally they are effective when reuptake inhibitors aren't doing the job. If you don't notice a significant reduction in symptoms after an MAOI, maybe its time for an antagonist of some sort like: remeron, nefazodone, trazadone, or a tricyclic.

Some symptoms of serotonin syndrome can mimic those due to an overdose of cocaine, lithium, or an MAOI.
If you have just start taking or increased the dosage of a tranquilizer (neuroleptic drug), other conditions such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome will be considered.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors: phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate). These are very effective but also require you to stay on a special diet to avoid dangerous side effects.

In the second study, the MAOI tranylcypromine caused manic or hypomanic switches in 11% of patients40. Finally, Nolen and colleagues45 reported no manic switches in eight patients with BPD openly randomized to tranylcypromine for 10 weeks as an add-on to mood stabilizers. Interestingly, a recent retrospective analysis of STEP-BD data suggests that TEAS is less likely to occur when MAOIs are administered in conjunction with mood stabilizers compared to other classes of antidepressants22.
